Childhood obesity

A new leaflet for parents from DH, "Why your child's weight matters" explains the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) and offers advice on healthy lifestyle linked to the change4life programme. Guidance for PCTs and schools for NCMP in 2009/10 is also available on the DH weibsite. BBC News reports on a study in Bristol of managing and treating childhood obesity in primary care. The qualitative study of frontline practitioners is published in the British Journal of General Practice.
